they are not building a "luxery" car. Predictions are that it will be 20k w/v6 and 25k w/base v8. They are aiming to compete with the mustang which also falls into this price range. Oh yeah, camaro has always been a sports car, but many people choose to turn them into drag cars.

 

lol, you guys are car guys while i'm a racer. you know what i would do with the 5th gen camaro? i would take it down to the frame and build a drag car. Why am I even on this site? lol ineed to find a camaro racing site

 

So true look at my username, 1sc package Z28 here, 2002 stripper ordered from the dealer with only options leather and hurst shifter. With the rebates and my $1000 Camaro Legends tour certificate I got a brand new Z for around $19,000. After it got wrecked I wanted to cry, now I have an SRT4 which actually cost me $150 more than my Z did and doesn't come near the performace. The Z28's were affordable, unless you got t-tops and every option you could put in them.

 

don't worry, there are plenty of people here who agree with you about it.. but that has been discussed a million times over and i think everyone is sick of arguing over it..

there are those who want it to be a drag car, and only care about straight line performance..

and there are those like me who want a great handling and riding car that can also go quick in a straight line

 

Thats me. Drag racing is fun and I like watching the guys who are really into it. But the guys who are really into it rip the rear out anyway. Out comes the solid rear and in goes an entire subframe with drag shocks and heavy duty rear. I want the car that can take the curves and have acceleration. I dont want 1/4 mile gears though because I dont want the milege of a drag car and Id like top end. Like a Vette setup.

I wonder if its feasible to put solid axle in the SS and IRS in the Z28 and ZL1... May drive up production costs but its a thought...

 

thats a thought. it'd be cool to see a solid axle in a more high performance model and irs in the lower end models. they could even bring back something like the COPO.

 

I voted a 5. I like it overall, would of rather had a totally new style. Oh by the way no t-tops no sale.

 

The overall look of this car is so sick.... thats all i can say. Even though its obvious that the main characteristics are of a 67-69 I love how the sharp lines wide stance and rectangular windshield make it look like an iroc. It looks like it would scare the **** out of a mustang. If chevy was bold enough to bring back the hide away headlights that would absolutely make this car a classic. The only thing I dont like that will likely be kept is the rear end including the rear lights.... but then again i dont reall care for the rear of my 96 z28 . 78 to 92 had the best rear end. 70.5 to ?75? was also nice. Last thing to say is this will be the next car I will own when it comes out.
78 LT 350
86 Sport couple 305
86 Z28 305
96 Z28 350
(all bought with my own money and im only 20)

 

I would buy the new challenger or the pos mustang before I'd buy this fugly car

 

For my tastes -- here's the order I would buy them.

1st place - '08/'09 Camaro

2nd place - '05+ Mustang

3rd place - '05/'06 or possible '08/'09 Pontiac GTO

4th Place - '09/'10 Challenger.

But then I'm a GM guy, and not big on Ford & Mopar.

 

Im A GM Guy Too I Dont Like The Front End If They Changed It I Might Buy It. IWant a 68 Camaro or A 99 Or Newer Firehawk.

 

I gave it an 8 because I don't really like some of the things in the interior such as the huge multicolored tach and speedo. I also don't like how the front looks with the big bowtie on it. Take that off and I'd like it a lot more. Even if they left that stuff the same I would still buy one!!

 

It looks good, but my thing is the styling evolved 2nd-4th generation. Now they've wiped the slate clean and gone back to the first generation. I'd like to see a more evolutionary look, with a lower front end and quad headlights and open mouth grille.

 

If you want an old car buy an old car!

Just kidding but Damn that felt good to be able to say that to someone else for a change

 

I'm not too clear on your point. The Camaro concept is based on the 1969 Camaro. I said i'd like a more evolutionary look. Evolving the Camaro, the same way the Corvette has, does not make an old car.
